Carly Rae Jepsen scored the hit of the summer with her infectious pop tune "Call Me Maybe."
But the music industry is always looking for the next big thing, and it might find it in 19-year-old Cher Lloyd.
Cher has a lot in common with Carly Rae: they're both brunette, petite (5'2"), and got their big breaks on singing competitions (Cher placed 4th on "The X Factor" U.K., while Carly Rae was third on "Canadian Idol").
"Call Me Maybe" still holds the top spot on the Billboard 100, but Cher's single "Want U Back" is climbing steadily, hitting No. 12 this week (last week it was No. 17) and getting increased play on radio. The ultimate sign it's a hit? Cher will be releasing a bonus version with Snoop Dogg on her new album Sticks + Stones, which drops September 18th.

"Want U Back" by Cher Lloyd
Hey, boy you never had much game So I needed to upgrade So I went and walked away-way-way Now I seen you been hanging out With that other girl in town Looking like a pair of clowns-clowns-clowns

Remember all the things that you and I did first You got me got me like this And now you're taking her to every restaurant And everywhere we went, come on! And now you're taking her to every restaurant You got me got me like this
Boy you can say anything you wanna I don't give a sh, no one else can have you I want you back, I want you back Want want you, want you back I broke it off thinking you'd be crying Now I feel like sh looking at you flying I want you back, I want you back Want want you, want you back
Please, this ain't even jealousy She ain't got a thing on me Tryna rock them ugly jeans-jeans-jeans You clearly didn't think this through If what I've been told is true You'll be crawling back like boo-hoo-hoo
Remember all the things that you and I did first And now you're doing them with her Remember all the things that you and I did first You got me got me like this like this And now you're taking her to every restaurant And everywhere we went, come on! And now you're taking her to every restaurant You got me got me like this
Boy you can say anything you wanna I don't give a sh, no one else can have you I want you back, I want you back Want want you, want you back I broke it off thinking you'd be crying Now I feel like sh looking at you flying I want you back, I want you back Want want you, want you back

Yo, Remember all the things that you and I did first And now you're doing them with her Remember all the things that you and I did first You got me got me like this
Boy you can say anything you wanna I don't give a sh, no one else can have you I want you back, I want you back Want want you, want you back I broke it off thinking you'd be crying Now I feel like sh looking at you flying I want you back, I want you back Want want you, want you back
